WTF color do you paint an engine? Most of the old heads tell me to paint it ford blue. 🤮 I also need to redo the engine bay. It will be painted, but again what color? I am not sure on the exterior of the truck’s color yet so I can’t paint the engine bay the same as the truck. I was thinking a boring ass black engine bay and a silver/gray engine with only a couple chrome thingies on the engine. ---

But they I realized that everyone and their grandma builds chevy’s and small block fords. I want to be different and build a big block ford in a land barge of a truck like my 77 is. I’m starting a new bandwagon. Just wait for a few years. All you will see is old school trucks with big block fords in them, it is the new hottness. 😃 all you fagort bandwagon stang and camEro boys will be jealous. :D:D:D ---
